Laura died nearly 50 years before Grant was born; was even four years
older than the gun he carried. She had been 16 when she succumbed to
tuberculosis. Grant knew this because he had once talked with some
members of the Peterson family, old people then, who told him of their
little sister. They described a spritely girl and the sadness they all felt
when she died of a disease that was little understood and not treatable in
any effective way. Grant had come upon the grave many years before and

AMU’s Horner Wins 3GN FNH 3 Gun Nation TV
Championship, $25,000 LAS VEGAS, NV --(Ammoland.com)- The U.S. Army Marksmanship

The final event of the ground-breaking 2010 3-Gun Nation Tour, the
3GN Championship Shoot-Off pitted 16 of the top 3-gunners in the world
in a single-elimination, man-on-man drag race through a course of MGM
steel targets. But to get there, competitors had to post one of 16 top
scores out of field of more than 50 top practical shooters. And in
Horner’s case, he had to do a little more.
Horner’s incredible run actually began three days earlier when he set out
to defend his USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals title, and with a top
performance there earn a Wild Card berth into the 3GN Championship.
Unlike many top pros who had already qualified for the match based on
series points, Horner spent much of 2010 deployed with his unit to
Afghanistan in support of combat operations.
The Army staff sergeant did that and more, picking up another Nationals
victory en route to a Wild Card slot, before posting the top score after

gears, and looked solid with comfortable wins over Kerry Dematos and
Tony Holmes, setting up a semi-finals match-up with FNH USA’s Dave
Neth, who owns a Shoot-Off victory following MGM Ironman.
Meanwhile, Neth was equally impressive in his first two runs, knocking
out Ty Gentry and SureFire’s Barry Dueck, seemingly recapturing the
same rhythm and pace he set in Parma to win $5,000 in June.
As the two competitors stepped to the line, one could feel a shift in the
atmosphere, as the crowd seemed to sense what was coming. Two
confident, athletic shooters who were both clearly in the “zone” were

Tips for Using Your Day 6 PlotWatcher Trail Cam • Use the camera to pinpoint entry and exit spots, directions of travel
and game activity so you know exactly where to place your stands.
• When possible, position your camera facing north or south to

prevent the sun from backlighting your subject and making it a

• If you set the PlotWatcher in open areas such as fields, food plots,
clear cuts, power lines etc…, set your camera to take footage every
10 seconds, which is sufficient to get great, informative video. If
you set up the PlotWatcher in thicker cover, choose every five
seconds to double your chance of getting great pictures of the
animals you seek.

randomly selected, and both coaches and juniors firing for the team. It
was a short 10 shot prone match, each shooter firing one target. Eight
shooters comprised four different teams. Two or three coaches fired on
each team. Most of those present had not shot a club rifle for a few years,
and some had n ot ever fired a club gun.
The rifles used were Remington 513T rifles, with a lot of variation in
stock size, sight apertures, trigger pull, etc. Everyone came away from
the experience with a greater appreciation of the problems encountered
by the beginning shooter who often starts their shooting experience with

The African penguin population has declined 60.5 percent in the past 28 By Jack Lee
years due to food base declines and competition for food with the fishing President Pennsylvania Rifle & Pistol Association
industry and Cape fur seals. The population decline has been severely
exacerbated by rapid ecosystem changes at the northern end of the
penguin’s distribution and by major shifts of prey resources to outside of
the accessible foraging range of breeding penguins at the southern end of
its distribution; habitat modification and destruction; predation; and oil
spills. Climate change contributes to these threats through rising sea
levels, increasing sea surface temperatures, declines in upwelling
intensities, predicted increases in frequency and intensity of El Niño
events in the Benguela marine ecosystem, and predicted increases in
sulphide eruptions.
